    • Music Commentary

High in the conversational mix this week …
 
 … the return the Stackwaddy game! - do Ben & Jerry’s do a Bohemian Raspberry? Are there really Apple Music genres called Pillow Talk and Countrypolitan?
 
… Errol Flynn and his dachshund water-skiing. 
… James Caan’s opening scene in Misery.
… is Nick Kyrgios the first ‘rap’ tennis star?
 
… why ‘Indie’ doesn’t tolerate non-conformity (or success) – plus Razorlight and other bands who let you down.
 
… bizarre combinations of celebrities we’ve bumped into at the BBC – eg Ronnie Corbett and Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
 
.. the vital importance of communal suffering at rock festivals.
 
… and can you get your money’s worth from a £1.5m one-off original Bob Dylan musical ‘artwork’?
